Outlook Classic "hangs" if I want to open attachments

I have outlook classic on 3 PCs. Within the last month, I have noticed that it takes an incredibly long time to open attached files. Outlook "hangs" for up to 1 minute, and then the file opens. The same thing happens if I copy a file from one email to another.

Does anyone have an idea what is causing this. It is quite annoying

      Hey. Thanks.

      Just found out...NordVPN was the problem. I could fix the problem by changing the connection protocol.

      Have a nice day
